100.000 dollari per Ringo

Lee Barton arrives in Rainbow Valley as a stranger. The townspeople mistake him for Ward Cluster, a former resident thought to have died in the Civil War. They believe Barton has come to seek revenge against the Cherry brothers, who are responsible for the death of his wife. Even Cluster's son, Sean, raised by an Indian chief named Gray Bear, thinks Barton is his father.

Tom Cherry, the most troublesome of the three brothers, is involved in dealings with the Mexican army. He is romantically interested in Deborah, a local woman married to Ive, a local drunk with a questionable reputation.

Tom is on a quest for $100,000 hidden by a Mexican general. At one point, he captures and whips Barton. Eventually, Tom kills both Deborah and Ive.

Barton teams up with a wandering sheriff from Tucson and, in a final shoot-out, kills Tom. Barton discovers the hidden money and envisions a future with Sean.
